Bristol Rovers head coach Nigo Calderon has made clear that he will not blame his players,
00:05
that he is mostly responsible for Bristol Rovers' current downfall in League One.
00:12
I am the first one that maybe was not at that level.
00:17
I'm not going to blame the players at all.
00:18
We are all in the same shape here.
00:20
We are all in the same shape, so I'm not going to blame them.
00:22
As you say, I was a player and I know how they felt because I've been there fighting for relegation
00:28
and your legs, they don't work the same way, and it's not an excuse.
00:33
It's not an excuse.
00:34
We cannot put it as an excuse because we put ourselves in that situation.
00:37
And the thing is, the surprise thing for me, I think we've been there a long time,
00:44
but it was again, you know, especially it was after the goal.
00:47
It was a similar situation than against Mansfield, similar situation in Arches-Exeter.
00:53
So it's happening too many times, you know, and it's difficult to even explain.
00:58
But somehow we still have chances.
01:02
And not because we deserve today, but because maybe in the past we deserve more.
01:06
That's why still we have chances.
01:07
And obviously I'm not going to be positive today because I'm not.
01:11
And finally, Bristol City head coach Liam Manning has outlined
01:15
that Bristol City's play-off ambitions are still very much in their hands.
01:20
The Robins next travel to Leeds United, who are already promoted back to the Premier League
01:24
and then finish the season at home against Preston North End.
01:28
I haven't got to do anything to get them up for it, ultimately.
01:32
I think, you know, the position we're in, it's in our hand, it's in our control.
01:35
We have to make sure that you see it.
01:37
Pringy picked up a knock today, so we have to assess how he is.
01:40
You know, I thought Elijah did terrifically well coming on.
01:42
You know, it's a small appearance.
01:43
He's had to be a little bit patient, but I thought he showed what he's about.
01:46
And that's it.
01:47
I think, you know, we're going to have to rest and clear up a few knocks and bits and pieces
01:50
and get everybody ready for Leeds.
01:52
Yeah, and rightly so, right.
01:53
I think the fans have been fantastic.
01:54
But, you know, as of the lads, I think, you know, of course, frustrated, annoyed, disappointed,
01:59
you know, because it was on us a bit today, I felt.
02:02
But, yeah, the fans are outstanding again.
02:04
So, we'll do our bit in the final two to, you know, to give absolutely everything.
02:07
So, yeah, be excited by it, enjoy it.
02:10
And, yeah, let's hope we're there after 46.
